I generally do not practice landlord tenant law, but I faced this issue a couple years ago in one of my probate cases (deceased property owner rentedout garage converted without permits and not to code) and was advised by UD
counsel that if the property could not lawfully be rented as a dwelling when the tenant rented the place, then that precluded any ability of a
landlord to prevail in a UD case against the tenant unless the LAMC 151.09relocation fees are first paid to the tenant.

If I am not mistaken, you can still evict them to terminate the tenancy
and get a writ of possession even though you can't pay the money to make them
move. Help me out here. . .

I know of no reason why monies due tenant would not be dischargeable. However the real problem I think is going to be getting that occupant out of the property because they don't have to move until they are paid the relocation fees. Your potential debtor is in a Catch-22 situation.

Just a question. . . are they out yet? Isn't an ongoing violation until
they leave? Until they are out, won't it become a post petition debt?
